Made from patented, double-layer polypropylene that lets roots breathe

Grow Bags make the most of limited space and fold flat for off-season storage

Shown with the Self-Watering Tray, sold separately

For years now, gardeners in England have made the most of very limited garden space by growing vegetables, greens and herbs in plastic bags placed on steps, patios and landings. We’ve made improvements and achieved terrific results — and you will, too! First, our Salad Grow Bags are made of patented, double-layer polypropylene instead of sheet plastic. This felt-like fabric breaths better, so your plants won’t suffer from heat build-up, overwatering, or poor aeration. Plus, our fabric air prunes plant roots, resulting in a strong, healthy root system. We’ve developed a Grow Bag for many popular crops — shallow for salads, deep for tomatoes, peppers and potatoes. That means less planting mix to buy and better results.

I bought these, along with other sizes of Grow Bags, to use out on my deck this summer. I bought enough Self-Watering Trays to use under all of my Grow Bags. They were a lot of work to set up, but some of that was because I was mixing two different potting soils. I planted seeds in some and live plants in others. Everything grew, and the seeds sprouted quickly. My tomatoes and peppers are ok, but the rest of what I planted didn't fare so well. I don't know if we have just had a particularly wet summer, but combined with the trays, these bags are so wet they are actually getting mold/mildew. The salad grow bags are the worst. They are almost black, and I bought them in the poppy color. That would probably be fine if the lettuce and herbs had actually grown, but they didn't. The seeds sprouted, but never grew more than about an inch. I have had success with growing in other planters before, and I will be going back to those. Not impressed with any of the Grow Bags, but especially not the Salad bags.
